There have been numerous brother combinations in Baseball going back to the early days of baseball and continuing until today. There have been fewer father/son combination. And at least one family where the Grandfather/father/grandson all had long careers in the Major leagues (at different times of course). Actually, although few people may know it the brother combination with the most homeruns is the Aaron brothers; Hank and Tommy. The Father/son homerun leaders is of course the Bonds; Bobby and Barry.

To add a couple more to what's already been thrown out, Phil and Joe Neikro are probably the best pitching brothers. As for another recent time, Aaron and Bret Boone both played in the majors. They are also part of the most well known grandfather, father, son families of all time. Their father Bob was an all-star catcher and also managed Aaron in Cincinnati. His father Ray was an all star infielder.

Off the top of my head:
Cal and Billy Ripken - Baltimore Orioles (also managed by their father Cal SR in 1987)
Jerry and Scott Hairston - Jerry with the Orioles, Cubs and Rangers, Scott with D-Backs
Jason and Jeremy Giambi - Oakland A's
Benji, Jose, and Yadayir (sp?) Molina - All 3 catchers in majors between the Angels, Blue Jays and Cardinals.
I got a negative rating for listing brothers who've played together in MLB? ooookkkk....... Good thing I don't take it seriously

According to Baseball Almanac....
Three-hundred fifty plus brother combinations have played Major League baseball. Some were twins and some got to play on the same team.
Add another hundred plus father-and-son combinations, plus a few grandfathers with grandsons, some family teammates, and even a few twins and you can see that leaves from a tree don't often fall far from the trunk in the Baseball Almanac Family Tree.
95 combos of brothers played "together" on the exact same team at the same exact point at least once during their Major League careers.

There have been more than you could imagine. There have been 381 sibling sets to have appeared in a major league game, with 9 sets of twins who have made it, and 71 different sets of sibling teammates. Only the Waner brothers are in the Hall Of Fame together.

I agree with jreb64 above, with the Dean & DiMaggio boys. BUT... We also got Phil & Joe Niekro. Hank & Tommie Aaron Roberto & Sandy Alomar, Jr. Felipe, Matty, & Jesus Alou Frank & Joe Torre Cal Jr. & Billy Ripken Butts & Honus Wagner. Gaylord Perry & Jim Perry. Ramon & Tony Pena. Todd & Tim Worrell. Jack, Jim, Mike, & Steve O'Neill Otis & Donell Nixon. Graig & Jim Nettles. Dave & Steve Sax. And I do believe that Ed & Frank & Jim & Joe & Tom Delahanty are the MOST brothers that ever played the game at 5.

Usually only two, but there have been some instances of three -- the Alou and DiMaggio families the best-known -- and one prolific horde of five, though they were not all concurrent.
The Delahanty Clan
Ed, 1888-1903 (HOFer)
Frank, 1905-15
Jim, 1901-15
Joe 1907-09
Tom, 1894-97
Ed died by getting swept over Niagara Falls, though it's possible he'd already drowned by then.
